Woo Hoo - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

 

[Corrine 1973]

Thankyou everyone for your birthday wishes, it really made my day.

Just had to let everyone know something cool that happened to me today. I decided to take the kids to Six Flags Great America today to celebrate my birthday.(Have season passes so it was free) We had some tickets to be in the parade so we got to sit in a trolley and feel special for a half an hour. We than had a personal meet and greet with the characters. That would have been a lot better if the kids weren't tierd and just wanted to go home. (It was already past 9pm)

The thing that I wanted to tell everyone is there is a giant pool of water in front of the iconic double decker carousel there. People regularly throw money in it and make wishes. I used to work there, so I know for a fact that this money is gathered up at certain times to be donated to certain charities. Today I noticed a sign next to the water and a familiar sign caught my eye. All the money that was being thrown in the water was being donated to Give Kids the World.

I was so excited that I took a picture (will add it tomarrow, to tierd tonight) and went to guest relations to personaly thank them for the donations and tell them a little about the charity that unfortunalty they knew only a little about. I think I made their days with my kind words.

As we left the park, I gave each of the kids a quarter (and myself as well) and we threw them in the water. Our wish. . .well as you know I can't tell you, but I think you might already have guessed.

I can't explain, but that brought tears to my eyes...

Sadly, before MAW came into the picture, I had never even heard of GKTW. So now I'm kind of on a mission to tell everyone about this incredible place!

Glad you had a great birthday!

 

[Matt1026]

That was a neat story. Thank you for sharing. I glad you had a good birthday. I have a strong feeling those wishes and dreams are about to come true. Since our dates are so close together I feel like I am sharing this with you. I have read so many TR's but I do not think I have completely grasp the magic that is awaiting us. One day closer.

[Corrine 1973]

Sorry it took so long for me to post this.

Here is the picture of the sign by the reflection pool at Six Flags.

I am still getting a little misty eyed looking at it almost a week later.

What day is it
Why it's time for another​

Disney Movie Fun Night
Tonights Movie was
Peter Pan

We had Pirate ship Pizza's, Fruit swords, and Pirates teeth. (corn)

Our craft was simple
and everything got crazy so I forgot to take a picture.
I made little pouches and bought several diffrent colors of glitter.
We called them Pixie bags and the glitter was our happy thoughts.
The kids loved it, but I will cleaning glitter out of my carpets for ages.
For dessert we had Pixie Ice Cream.
Just a scoop of Ice Cream with Magic Shell.
It was a new flavor called cupcake.
It was white with colorful flecks of color.
Just like magic.

Next weeks movie is
Tarzan

Any ideas would be great.​

 

[StefaniLyn]

Another great Movie Night for you! Everything looks great! I may need to steal your Pirate Ship Pizzas for our Peter Pan evening!

Have fun cleaning up the glitter - I still find some in the vacuum whenever I clean the room I made our countdown calendar in! And it's been like a month!

 

[crocko]

Love the ship and swords!

Just sent that pic to my wife.....good chance we'll do that meal sometime

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

Looks like DMFN was a blast as it is every week! Hmmm Tarzan...I will have to think about that one and then I will get back to you! Hope you and the kids are doing well!

 

[Matt1026]

Your movie night sounded like so much fun!! Glitter you are a brave MOM. It is amazing how all of that can fly around the room. It is almost like magic itself. Looking forward to next week!

Let's just say that Christmas came to the Nash house early this year.
My mom called me today at work to tell me some good news.
Three packages arrived at her house today,
she kept them on the pourch so they would not be opened until I arrived home.

I tried to take this first picture of the packages with all it's pretty little Mickey Mouses on them,
but as you can see Liam decided to get into the picture.
I Had picture posted here, but just relized that you could clearly see my address so I deleted it. Sorry.

First Liam Opened his gifts with excitment.

He recieved a Star Wars Outfit, a Spiderman Outfit, a Jack Sparrow T-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt, a Pirate of the Caribean towel, stickers, crayons, and tons of other stuff as you can see.
His favorite was a small treasure chest with assorted Pirate stuff.
At first he wasn't so excited about the cloths until I pointed out his name on everything
and of course the Star Wars set. He can't wait to wear it.

Next Aidan opened his.

He recived a cars t-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt (both with his name), a Finding Nemo towel
and various other toys and stickers. I made a mistake when I took the last pic, the sand toys were actually Mia's, so I put his sand toys with hers.
In the second picture you can see him pointing out Mickey Mouse. He loves Mickey and says his name several times a day.
It souds more like Mickey Moue.

Mia was next.

She recieved a Cinderells t-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt (both with her name), a Princess towel,
and various other toys and gifts.
She loved everything.
As you can see that is Aidan's Sand toy.

Last but not least it was my turn to open my package.

Of course my brother and I recieved t-shirts to MNSSHP (now we have a full set), tinker bell for me, Jack Skellington for him.
There was also 4 trick or treat bags, glow sticks, glow stick lanterns,
various halloween stickers, and a special princess magnet pad just for me.​

Cajunfan,

I can not tell you how much we appriciate your generousity. The kids and I loved everything and can't wait to try everything out. You thought of things I had not even thought of (glow sticks, trick or treat bags) but now couldn't see out trip with out them. All I can say it Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
Corrine, Liam, Mia, and Aidan
